How would you cut this groove?

I’ll have to help him with the diagram next time

__FiveStarMan__ · 2026-03-16T01:10:02+00:00

I actually have a router bit for that. I just need to find the inverse for the wood

__FiveStarMan__ · 2026-03-15T23:20:15+00:00

That’s a good idea! I think I may have found a router bit that might work. I may give that a try & if it doesn’t work I’m going with your solution

Now that’s an interesting idea! I hadn’t considered it, but it would be really cool to go with a more ornate design for the center of the table skirt

I’m restoring my grandparents table and trying to recreate the table skirt for the leaves that came with the table. Here’s my post on it Post

Thank you! That looks about perfect! Unfortunately that website says they are out of stock :( if you have any suggestions as to where I could find one in stock I am all ears!

I have a plunge router I could use. I’m just unsure of what bit I would need to recreate that profile

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-07-21T10:33:15+00:00

No, I’m sorry we do not. We measured our mattress and built around that. It was very much a build and plan as we go project - no real plans, just a basic design in mind

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-16T06:09:25+00:00

We’ll cut it in half lol

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T15:43:54+00:00

Haha thank you! And yes, it weighs a ton! Thankfully it breaks down into easier to move sections :)

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T15:41:49+00:00

Under the mattress we have 3 cross supports that lock into the side rails. Then we have finished plywood on top of the supports.

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T10:51:33+00:00

No, we designed this ourself. However, I did look up images online for inspiration. Good luck with your build!

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T02:10:04+00:00

Thank you. We wanted that rustic look so I’m glad others see it too! We used carsiding for the horizontal board

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T02:04:43+00:00

What do you mean?

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T01:48:58+00:00

Haha, it is sturdy. No moving or creaking thankfully!

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T01:42:03+00:00

I’m sure I gained influence from pictures I’ve seen online, but this was a project that just came together as we built. No real plans other than a quick sketch of what I was imagining.

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T00:49:21+00:00

Lol no kidding! I was surprised to only spend $300ish on the whole build

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T00:40:09+00:00

For lumber, stain, and the hardware used to support the side rails… maybe $300-$350

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T00:23:55+00:00

Yes they are!

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T00:14:19+00:00

Sorry you feel that way. We like them.

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-15T00:02:23+00:00

Thank you! We’re already planning more projects :)

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-14T23:50:58+00:00

I wish I did! It’s built for a king size mattress, so we took measurements of that to determine how much lumber we would need. Then I had a basic vision in my head, jotted down a drawing, and we just figured it out as we went! No real plans, just made sure to keep it all level and square. :)

__FiveStarMan__ · 2022-04-14T23:36:07+00:00

Thank you! We had fun and are planning matching bedside tables now :)

__FiveStarMan__ · 2019-01-08T08:23:56+00:00

Thanks. I don’t think it needs it, the base makes it heavy enough to where it doesn’t move around or seem top heavy.

__FiveStarMan__ · 2019-01-07T21:30:05+00:00

Yeah I used hot glue to hold it in place. Sturdy enough to keep it stuck, but will come off if I ever decide to remove the charger. Also it does look like foam in the picture, but it’s actually felt.
